This PR adds a new extrinsic `Call::restore_ledger ` gated by `StakingAdmin` origin that restores a corrupted staking ledger. This extrinsic will be used to recover ledgers that were affected by the issue discussed in https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3245. The extrinsic will re-write the storage items associated with a stash account provided as input parameter. The data used to reset the ledger can be either i) fetched on-chain or ii) partially/totally set by the input parameters of the call. In order to use on-chain data to restore the staking locks, we need a way to read the current lock in the balances pallet. This PR adds a `InspectLockableCurrency` trait and implements it in the pallet balances. An alternative would be to tightly couple staking with the pallet balances but that's inelegant (an example of how it would look like in [this branch](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/tree/gpestana/ledger-badstate-clean_tightly)). More details on the type of corruptions and corresponding fixes https://hackmd.io/DLb5jEYWSmmvqXC9ae4yRg?view#/ We verified that the `Call::restore_ledger` does fix all current corrupted ledgers in Polkadot and Kusama. You can verify it here https://hackmd.io/v-XNrEoGRpe7APR-EZGhOA. **Changes introduced** - Adds `Call::restore_ledger ` extrinsic to recover a corrupted ledger; - Adds trait `frame_support::traits::currency::InspectLockableCurrency` to allow external pallets to read current locks given an account and lock ID; - Implements the `InspectLockableCurrency` in the pallet-balances. - Adds staking locks try-runtime checks (https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3751) **Todo** - [x] benchmark `Call::restore_ledger` - [x] throughout testing of all ledger recovering cases - [x] consider adding the staking locks try-runtime checks to this PR (https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3751) - [x] simulate restoring all ledgers (https://hackmd.io/Dsa2tvhISNSs7zcqriTaxQ?view) in Polkadot and Kusama using chopsticks -- https://hackmd.io/v-XNrEoGRpe7APR-EZGhOA Related to https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3245 Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3751 --------- Co-authored-by: command-bot <>
NOTE: We have recently made significant changes to our repository structure. In order to streamline our development process and foster better contributions, we have merged three separate repositories Cumulus, Substrate and Polkadot into this repository. Read more about the changes here.
Polkadot SDK
The Polkadot SDK repository provides all the resources needed to start building on the Polkadot network, a multi-chain blockchain platform that enables different blockchains to interoperate and share information in a secure and scalable way. The Polkadot SDK comprises three main pieces of software:
Polkadot
Implementation of a node for the https://polkadot.network in Rust, using the Substrate framework. This directory
currently contains runtimes for the Westend and Rococo test networks. Polkadot, Kusama and their system chain runtimes
are located in the runtimes repository maintained by
the Polkadot Technical Fellowship.
Substrate
Substrate is the primary blockchain SDK used by developers to create the parachains that make up the Polkadot network. Additionally, it allows for the development of self-sovereign blockchains that operate completely independently of Polkadot.
Cumulus
Cumulus is a set of tools for writing Substrate-based Polkadot parachains.
Releases
Note
Our release process is still Work-In-Progress and may not yet reflect the aspired outline here.
The Polkadot-SDK has two release channels: stable and nightly. Production software is advised to only use stable.
nightly is meant for tinkerers to try out the latest features. The detailed release process is described in
RELEASE.md.
Stable
stable releases have a support duration of three months. In this period, the release will not have any breaking
changes. It will receive bug fixes, security fixes, performance fixes and new non-breaking features on a two week
cadence.
Nightly
nightly releases are released every night from the master branch, potentially with breaking changes. They have
pre-release version numbers in the format major.0.0-nightlyYYMMDD.
